About A T. Rex Named Sue$0
The Tyrannosaurus Rex has long commanded respect and sparked curiosity in the mind of the public, and Sue is the most famous T. Rex of all. At 42 feet (12.8 m) long and 12 feet (3.66 m) tall at the hips, her skeleton inspires as much awe today as she did 67 million years ago. $0

Revel in the sheer size of a fully articulated, life-sized skeleton cast, look a cast of Sue's skull in the eye, and experience Sue's movement, vision, and sense of smell for yourself. Touch casts of Sue's bones and diagnose pathologies that left their mark in Sue's leg, jaw, and tail. Follow Sue's sensational journey from the Cretaceous to the rock of South Dakota to the U.S. courts, and finally to the world. Learn about the technology used to prepare and study this very special fossil. $0
